Paragraph 1:

The Classic Center Authority (CCA), an Authority of the State of Georgia, in cooperation with Athens-Clarke County, and on behalf of the Athens-Clarke County Center for Racial Justice, is seeking statements of qualifications from firms specializing in museum exhibition design and creation services. The selected firm(s) will be responsible for designing and creating space, exhibits, and displays for a new historical center in downtown Athens, Georgia. The project aims to illuminate the rich history of African Americans in Athens and the surrounding communities, solidify a commitment to justice, and inspire youth. Respondents to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) may be deemed especially qualified through an evaluation process to perform the required services. The CCA retains the right to reject any or all statements of qualifications or subsequent proposals and to waive technicalities, irregularities, and informalities. The submission deadline is May 6, 2024, and the CCA may select one or more finalists to submit additional proposals.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The CCA is open to receiving qualifications from design-build teams. The project has an anticipated budget of $2 million, but the RFQ does not provide details on pricing terms, funding sources, or other financial information. The RFQ also does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
